RNC Celebrates Hillary, With No One

by Jim Newell  

Mmm, happy hour with the RNC and PUMAs. Sign us up. Obviously the RNC cares so much about Hillary voters that, um, they’re not letting any of them in: “Space is limited, and attendees must present both a valid DNCC and press organization credential to gain admittance.” So really… what’s going on here. [RNC]

And a Wonkette post about it with No Comments and No Views. How meta!

ManchuCandidate August 25, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Boilermakers and Geritol for everyone!

american mutt August 25, 2008 at 3:01 pm

Let’s see, a party with PUMAs and the RNC? When will the animal sacrifice begin?

LittlePig August 25, 2008 at 3:02 pm

What’s going on here? Why, ratfucking my dear James, ratfucking.

TexasCowGirl August 25, 2008 at 3:02 pm

The Obama campaign needs to hurry up and make a commercial with this little repesctful exchange between McThusela and one of his supporters.

So, the RNC is welcoming only Hilltards with press credentials? Well, god knows that there’s a ton of crossover there. They’re probably just trying to keep the open-bar costs down.

Oscar Folsom Cleveland August 25, 2008 at 3:04 pm

So……no Cornel West?!

The Incomparable Tiny Valdez August 25, 2008 at 3:05 pm

I hope HBO is coughing up major whore diamonds for that Black List spam post. Bill T. Jones is da bomb, though.

RuperttheBear August 25, 2008 at 3:05 pm

Strange use of the word “happy.” Hotflashy?

AxmxZ August 25, 2008 at 3:06 pm

[re=68524]LittlePig[/re]: Hey, those rats aren’t going to fuck themselves?

Whiskeybaby August 25, 2008 at 3:06 pm

This frightens me.

villageatrois August 25, 2008 at 3:06 pm

They’re showing the Dems how to use booze to get women. FOX does the same thing when they hold news-anchor-babe interviews at Hooters. Could they invite the Hil-bots to Hooters’ breakfast buffet? (fried eggs, yum….)

dearest August 25, 2008 at 3:07 pm

[re=68528]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: You nailed it.

[re=68522]ManchuCandidate[/re]: I’d humbly add some laxatives to the mix.

SayItWithWookies August 25, 2008 at 3:07 pm

“Please note that the guest of honor will not be attending. Also, it’s not an open bar. Also, the only drink served is warm spit. Also, attending this event will automatically induct you into the National Guard. Also, the Republicans will sneer at you. Also, this event isn’t actually happening. Have fun and welcome!”

Canuckledragger August 25, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Juan’s just looking for a safe place to hide. Even some of his band’o'bros aren’t too keen on him, not that you’ll see them on FOX Gnus.

What was sauce for the goose is not, apparently, sauce for the gander.

gjdodger August 25, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Monty Hall is working the door. “Well, you’ve got a valid DNCC and press organization credential? What about a LIVE MOUSE? Do you have one of those in your pockets? No? Well, I’ll let you in if you’ve got a DECK OF PLAYING CARDS…”

wallythepug August 25, 2008 at 3:08 pm

I still think PUMA is made up of a bunch of GOP concern trolls and one 60-year old lady.

S.Luggo August 25, 2008 at 3:09 pm

If his Aricept works, Zell Miller will hoste and, for entertainment, Debra Bartoshevich will play the skin flute.

StripesAndPlaids August 25, 2008 at 3:09 pm

Wow. Free drink and food for Hillary supporters? What is that, some kind of fucked up PUMA Night? The Repubs have cougars. we get PUMAs. Hardly seems fair.

lazynamepicker August 25, 2008 at 3:10 pm

Maybe the happy hour is like the Hotel California, and we’ll never see those bitterz again.

SuperRounder August 25, 2008 at 3:11 pm

[re=68522]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Someone get the PUMAs a round of cement mixers on me.

WadISay August 25, 2008 at 3:12 pm

…attendees must present both a valid DNCC and press organization credential to gain admittance….

Whaaaa? Are they inviting only people who are both delegates and members of the press? Isn’t this taking this belief in the media bias thingy a little far?

mookworthjwilson August 25, 2008 at 3:13 pm

Sooo…are they going to be talking about how the GOP stands for exactly the opposite of everything that Hillary Clinton does?

TexasCowGirl August 25, 2008 at 3:14 pm

Free drinks? Harriet Christian is on a plane to Denver right now as we speak. The crazy, drunk ass bitch.

snig August 25, 2008 at 3:16 pm

[re=68538]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Also, attendance automatically enters you in the Columbia Record Club. Additionally there will be a timeshare presentation preceding anyone receiving their beverage of warm spit.

Wrongavore August 25, 2008 at 3:16 pm

Newell, we need more up to the minute shit. I don’t know but I sort of thought this would be a non stop wall to wall live blog.

CivicHoliday August 25, 2008 at 3:17 pm

This is just a cover up to distract the MSM from the RNC sponsored “young male intern Happy Hour at the Marriot Hotel, room 421 – no IDs required”

Maus August 25, 2008 at 3:17 pm

Lieberman shows up alone, as always.

mookworthjwilson August 25, 2008 at 3:17 pm

[re=68550]mookworthjwilson[/re]: How about how McCain voted to convict and remove Bill 10 years ago? Oh, I am sure they can have a laugh about that….

AngryBlakGuy August 25, 2008 at 3:18 pm

…another guaranteed FAIL. If they aren’t allowing plain old regular bitters in then who the hell is going to show up? The press wont show up(exception FAUX News) because if there are no PUMA’s then it isn’t a story. I have a feeling this is going to be the only bar within city limits that is empty.

bodypolitik August 25, 2008 at 3:19 pm

Coke party!

columnv August 25, 2008 at 3:20 pm

[re=68532]AxmxZ[/re]: That has always been a RNC talking point.

Chuck Fildren August 25, 2008 at 3:21 pm

Can it really be a happy hour with the hilltards involved?

snig August 25, 2008 at 3:26 pm

If they throw a party for Lieberman, will it be here or in Minneapolis? It’ll probably consist of bacon cheeseburgers, as he’s demonstrated that past convictions mean nothing to him. Lieberman will dance and collect donations while McCain accompanies him on organ grinder.

RuperttheBear August 25, 2008 at 3:27 pm

The drink special includes Long Island Ice Teas.

If Harriet drinks one, her accent either goes away or becomes so garishly ethnic that it kills. We just don’t know, dammit. Some technology is too dangerous for humankind.

S.Luggo August 25, 2008 at 3:29 pm

[re=68551]TexasCowGirl[/re]: Poor Harriet. That’s problem with rent control in NYC. It lets the crazies avoid institutionalization: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KACQuZVAE3s

pattycake August 25, 2008 at 3:29 pm

I immediately thought of “For No One”:
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

Gopherit v2.0 August 25, 2008 at 3:32 pm

How nice of them to throw a party for the Daily Show guys.

Hey, do our wonkette editors have said credentials?

Gopherit v2.0 August 25, 2008 at 3:34 pm

If they have karaoke at this bar, someone has to crash with a camera!

dougbob August 25, 2008 at 3:34 pm

Lemme see…
Republicans….
Cheap Booze….
Pumas…..
One out of three ain’t enough for me.

Larry McAwful August 25, 2008 at 3:38 pm

Who wants to show up in St. Paul next week for a Mitt Romney happy hour? The conservative heir apparent, jilted by activists in his own party, particularly by angry evangelicals… Anyone? I understand hotel rooms in the Twin Cities aren’t hard to come by these days, for whatever reason…

BayhSexual August 25, 2008 at 3:42 pm

[re=68522]ManchuCandidate[/re]: what about gin & bitters???!! ha

KevoTron August 25, 2008 at 3:42 pm

God I just feel sorry for the staff at the bar. At least they can eliminate one ingredient from any Manhattans that get ordered. That crowds bitter enough without the Peychaud’s.

AngryBlakGuy August 25, 2008 at 3:45 pm

[re=68574]Larry McAwful[/re]: …with the amount of people who are suppose to be protesting, the only cocktails they might be seeing in St. Paul are Molotov cocktails.

Borat August 25, 2008 at 4:08 pm

Memo to GOP sponsors of this “party”:

Hillz supporters are NOT 16 year old boyz!

Mo MoDo August 25, 2008 at 4:08 pm

It’s a trap. Anyone attending is going to wake up short a kidney and Darth Cheney will have another year to live.

SkimLatteModerate August 25, 2008 at 4:15 pm

Our Wonkette is going to sneak in somehow, yes? I fully expect many fuzzy polaroids of drunk PUMAs tommorow.

dingleberries August 25, 2008 at 6:24 pm

I want to snort coke from the saggy tits of a puma. (I’m too
old to get a cougar who doesn’t have blue hair.)

Lionel Hutz Esq. August 25, 2008 at 6:28 pm

But, if you don’t go, how will you find out how John McCain plans to stop “that bitch” Hillary Clinton?
